Recognizing Signs of Pressure on Yourself: Focusing on Achievements
Recognizing signs of pressure on yourself involves distinguishing between perfectionism and high achievement. Perfectionism involves fixating on mistakes and feeling anxious if things are not flawless, leading to a constant feeling of pressure. On the other hand, high achievement focuses on learning from mistakes, acknowledging achievements, and making proactive plans for improvement. Reconceptualizing perfectionism into high achievement involves shifting the perspective to embrace mistakes as learning opportunities and maintaining a positive ratio between acknowledging mistakes and accomplishments.
